Equipment

A complete 9 Zone Handsfree Talkback Paging
System using the V -1109RTHF will be made up of the
following:

• PABX loop start trunk position, E -Key C.O. line

button or 1A2 line key

• V -1109RTHF 9 Zone Talkback Control Unit

INSTALLATION

This section covers the installation procedures for the
Valcom V -1109RTHF only. Consult other equipment
instructions if additional equipment is used.

Precautions

All precautions have been taken at the factory to
insure that the equipment functions properly. To
insure proper operation and to prevent equipment
damage, please observe the following:

• Unplug the power supply before making any

connections to the control unit.

• Do not locate the control unit closer than 18

inches or further than five feet from the power
supply.

• Do not use a lamp tester to check signals, use a

voltmeter. A lamp tester when first applies is a
short circuit to electronic circuits.

• Do not apply power to the control unit until all

connections have been checked.

Mounting

Mount the unit in a vacant space in an equipment
cabinet, rack or key system cabinet, allowing enough
room at the rear of the unit to plug in an amphenol
connector. Mount a 66B type punchdown block near
the unit and label it per Figure 2.

Cabling

A 25 pair cable with a female connector should be ran
from the unit to the connection block. The cable
should be terminated on the connection block in
standard color code order. Verify that the
connections are correct prior to plugging the other
end of the cable into the V -1109RTHF Page Unit.

Connections to PABX System

The V -1109RTHF may be accessed by connecting the
W/BL and BL/W to the Tip and Ring, respectively, of
a Loop Start Trunk Circuit. Refer to Figure 3 for
connections.

Connections to Electronic Key
Systems

The V -1109RTHF may be accessed by a C.O. line
position of an Electronic Key System by connecting
the W/BL, BL/W of the V -1109RTHF to a spare line
position of the Electronic Key. This line position
must be equipped with a trunk card. Refer to Figure 3
for connections.

Connections to 1A2 Key System

The V -1109RTHF may be connected to a spare button
3

of a 1A2 Key Telephone by making the following
connections (a 400 type line card is not needed in
this application):

• W/BL, BL/W of V -1109RTHF to spare button Tip

and Ring. Refer to Figure 4 for connections.

• O/W to Lamp Lead of spare button for lamp

connections. Refer to Figure 4 for connections.

NOTE: For Meet Me Page on 1A2, connect A-Leads
from spare button using 10K Ohm resistors in series
with each A-Lead. The other side of resistors are
connected to the BK/G (inhibit) of V -1109RTHF.
Refer to Figure 6 for connections.

Power Connections

• The V -1109RTHF is designed to use -24VDC

battery

• Connect the V/BR lead to Talk Ground

• Connect the BR/V lead to Talk Battery (-24VDC

filtered).

• Connect the V/S lead to Signal Ground

• Connect the S/V lead to Signal Battery (-24VDC

unfiltered)

NOTE: When the V -1109RTHF is connected to a 1A2
Key System, connect W/O to 10VAC lamp battery.
Refer to Figure 5 for connections.

NOTE: When the V -1109RTHF is connected to a Key
System power supply, all grounds should be common
and connect to an earth ground, i.e., cold water pipe.

Speaker Connections

The output for paging zones start at the BK/BR pair
(zone 1) through the V/O pair (zone 9). Refer to Figure
4 for typical speaker connections using Valcom 45
Ohm Talkback speakers. No more than two 45 Ohm
Talkback speakers may be connected to a zone.

NOTE: All speakers should be connected with
twisted pair, including cross-connections.

Music Connections

The output of a tuner or receiver may be connected to
the V/G pair of the V -1109RTHF to provide
system-wide background music.

NOTE: A low level (0.25vrms) 8 to 600 Ohm source
should be used. Do not connect the output of a high
power amplifier to this input.

Page and Music Level Set-up

The V -1109RTHF has volume controls for the
following functions:

• Speaker to phone

• Phone to speaker

• All Call master control

• Background music input control Zones 1-5

• Background music input control Zones 6-9

VOLUME

Refer to Figure 7 for volume control locations.

Control Set-Up:

1. Set-up Talkback Controls:
(a) The phone to speaker level should be at a

normal listening level.

(b) Speaker to phone level: This is the most

critical level; set the volume at the lowest
practical level (it is better to set it too low,
than too high).

2. All Call Level:

The All call level should be set to produce the

same audio level as the phone to speaker page
control.

3. Background Music Levels:

There are two volume controls provided for

background music adjustments: Zones 1-5 and
Zones 6-9.

It is important that the two background music
contro ls be used to set the music levels in the system.
Adjust these controls after all other system volume
levels have been set.

Repeat Alert Tone

A wire jumper controls the 15 seconds alert tone. The
repeat alert tone is disabled when the jumper is in
place and is enabled by cutting or removing the
jumper.

OPERATION

General Description

To make a voice page, go off-hook and dial the
number of the desired zone or station. Dial tone will
be broken after the first number is dialed. A one
second ringback tone will indicate that the called zone
is being signaled. After the tone, proceed with the
page. If using talkback speakers, the called party may
answer handsfree. If speaker cancel is wired when
called party goes off hook, speaker will be turned off.
Personal signaling: When initiating a call, depress the
"*" and then the station number. A double tone will
be sent to the called speaker. No voice announce or
talkback will be possible.

To dial a new number (tone dial only), depress the "#"
button. The speaker for the first number will be
disconnected and dial tone returned to calling party.
Dial new number and page.

NOTE: If "#" is depressed after the speakers have
been inhibited, additional numbers may still be dialed.
A tone will signal the called party but no voice
announce or talkback will be possible.

User Instructions

In order to achieve maximum performance from this
system, the user should receive the following
operating instructions.

A. The calling party should speak directly into

telephone mouthpiece and avoid speaking too
softly.

B. The called party must wait (approximately 1/2

second) before responding to the calling party.
